Tokyo International Film Festival received warm messages of support for Japan regarding the earthquake and tsunami on March 11 from participants at the opening reception of the French Film Festival (organized by Unifrance films), which was held from June 23 to June 26 in Tokyo.

This “TIFF ARIGATO Project” has been carried out since the Cannes International Film Festival in May, to show our appreciation for encouragements and supports given to Japan after the earthquake and tsunami and to send out these supportive messages to Japan and Japanese people through TIFF’s website.

Please find the below messages along with the photos from film people at the French Film Festival.
